We wanted to make sure that we feature the city’s well-known chefs and award-winning restaurateurs and also allow much-loved local gems and up-and-coming talents to showcase their expertise.
We will be offering guests an experience that is unique yet accessible as we open our doors at the V&A Waterfront as a meaningful addition to this city and our neighbourhood,” said Meyer.
